Hermès was founded in 1837 in Paris by Thierry Hermès as a harness workshop serving European noblemen. Over nearly two centuries, the family-controlled house has evolved from equestrian leather goods into one of the world's most revered luxury brands, while maintaining the founding ethos of exceptional craftsmanship, artisanal production, and deliberate scarcity. Unlike most luxury conglomerates, Hermès has remained under family control through the sixth generation, preserving its independence and long-term creative philosophy.\n\nHermès's product universe spans leather goods, silk scarves and accessories, ready-to-wear, perfumery, watches, jewelry, and homeware. The Birkin and Kelly bags are among the most recognized and sought-after luxury objects in the world, commanding waitlists and secondary market premiums that no other brand has matched. Each piece is crafted by a single artisan in one of Hermès's French ateliers, a production model the company has deliberately protected against scaling pressure to preserve quality and exclusivity.\n\nHermès reported FY2024 revenue of €15.2B, a 15% increase at constant exchange rates, with recurring operating income of €6.2B and a 40.5% operating margin — among the highest of any luxury house. The company's refusal to discount, its tight control over distribution (no outlet stores, selective wholesale), and its artisan-led manufacturing model give Hermès a pricing power and brand desirability that is structurally difficult for competitors to replicate. It remains a benchmark of luxury authenticity in a sector increasingly defined by brand inflation.
Cloud Veterinary Practice Management & Client Engagement
Cloud vet practice management acquired by IDEXX; Auckland New Zealand; 5,000+ clinics in US, Australia, NZ, and UK; covers patient check-in through invoicing and end-of-day reconciliation.
ezyVet is a cloud-based veterinary practice management and client engagement platform that provides veterinary clinics with patient records, scheduling, invoicing, billing, client communication, and analytics in a fully browser-based system, headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand and acquired by IDEXX Laboratories — the global veterinary diagnostics leader — in 2021 to extend IDEXX's software platform capabilities alongside its diagnostic products. ezyVet serves more than 5,000 veterinary clinics globally with particular strength in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.\n\nezyVet's platform provides a comprehensive clinical workflow covering patient check-in, consultation and treatment planning, prescription management, invoicing, and end-of-day reconciliation. The two-way client communication features include automated appointment reminders via SMS and email, post-visit summaries, and a client portal where pet owners can access records and request appointments. Deep integration with IDEXX's diagnostic products — including in-clinic analyzers, reference laboratory services, and imaging systems — allows results to flow directly into patient records, providing a significant competitive advantage now that IDEXX owns the platform.\n\nAs an IDEXX-owned platform, ezyVet benefits from IDEXX's global distribution network, integration with IDEXX's full diagnostics portfolio, and the ability to bundle software with diagnostic equipment and service agreements. ezyVet competes with Provet Cloud, Vetspire, Digitail, and the legacy IDEXX Cornerstone platform in the veterinary software market. IDEXX's ownership creates both an advantage (deep diagnostics integration) and a competitive consideration for clinics that use non-IDEXX diagnostic products.
